Here at the Swift Agency, just another guy who blogs about the Sparkly Dressed, we’d like to congratulate the Queen of Sparks on another deserving win. She took home another moonman for Best Female Video for the video I Knew You Were Trouble. She was sitting with her video co-star Reeve Carney. Her pal Selena Gomez was sitting on the other seat, which made the evening a bit more watchable with both their dancing antics.
T-Swizzle also got to to present the Best Male Video to Bruno Mars.
The show took place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Other notable highlights were Justin Timberlake’s performance and acceptance of the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award and Katy Perry singing Roar in front of the Brooklyn Bridge.
Update:Sorry, most of the clips have been brought down.
Here at the Swift Agency, just another guy who just joined the ranks of the cold afflicted, we’re staying home today and drinking lots of water and tea. The Sparkly Dressed is back home in Nashville for a short time before she’s due to perform at the 55th Grammy Awards on February 10. Remember the concert for Columbia, SC goes on sale tomorrow, Friday February 1st at the Colonial Life Arena.
Here’s the Behind The Scenes look at the making of the video for I Knew You Were Trouble. The video was directed by Anthony Mandler and it stars the Enchantress herself and Reeve Carney.
The Blonde With The Sparkly Guitar will take the stage at the 55th Grammy Awards live on February 10 on CBS.

Here at the Swift Agency, one guy who actually saw the music video for I Knew You Were Trouble, we’ve been waiting to finally comment on it since it premiered on December 13, on MTV. Simply put, I want to embed a video we all can watch. Now I can – the official video is up on YouTube!
I particularly love the intro. There’s nothing that someone in a bad relationship doesn’t already know, but it’s worth highlighting how accurate the Enchantress’ portrayal of a break up after a bad relationship really is. You don’t really break up, you’re more like left behind in the dust.
I think… I think when it’s all over it just comes back in flashes, you know? It’s like a kaleidoscope of memories. It just all comes back… but he never does.
I think part of me knew the second I saw him that this would happen.

It’s not really anything he said, or anything he did. It was the feeling that came along with it. And the crazy thing is I don’t know if I’m ever going to feel that way again. I don’t know if I should.
I knew his world moved too fast and burned too bright. But I just thought, how can the devil be pulling you towards someone who looks so much like an angel when he smiles at you?” Maybe he knew that when he saw me.
I guess I just lost my balance.
I think the worst part of it all wasn’t losing him, it was losing me.

There’s quite a bit to digest in this video. It’s probably the Princess in Red’s most image heavy production. It’s a complete departure from anything she’s ever done. There’s no contemplation except for the aftermath, a picture of devastation that symbolizes her own mental state.
The plot is a story ages old. Girl falls for bad boy. Hard. Bad boy takes her along for a joyride. Girl changes to what she thinks bad boy wants, but after the thrill and the adventure is gone he leaves her anyway. Girl learns an important lesson at the cost of losing herself.
I Knew You Were Trouble was directed by Anthony Mandler and it stars Taylor Swift and Reeve Carney.
I don’t know if you know who you are until you lose who you are.

Here at the Swift Agency, one guy who strikes out with bad jokes all the time but continues making them, we can’t wait to see the music video for I Knew You Were Trouble. “This video is edgy because the narrative of it is edgy,” the Blonde With The Sparkly Guitar tells MTV News. The song sounds different than anything else I’ve ever done before, so I thought why not make this video unlike anything we’ve done before.”
“We knew we wanted it to be some sort of corruption,” explains the Sparkly Dressed. “Good girl is living her life, going about her, you know, daily life and all of sudden she runs into this force. This guy is just like a force, she’ll do anything to fit into his world, including change everything about herself.”
